MixedTwo months into their first gaming laptop, the TUF A16 (FA608PP, Ryzen 9 8940HX, RTX 5070), they find it great for everything except battery life, which lasts only about 4.5 hours, and the 8GB of VRAM.
PositiveBought the TUF A16 (2025) with a Ryzen 7 260 and RTX 5070. Gets a stable 165 fps in PUBG and 90 in Chivalry 2 on Ultra with CPU max 67C and GPU 72C with boost off; a new-fan crackle was fixed with a fan curve.
PositiveOwns the TUF A16 with a Ryzen 7 260 and RTX 5060 and loves it. Added a 1TB SSD in the second slot, it runs everything they need, and battery life is about 4-6 hours.
PositiveBought the TUF A16 with a Ryzen 9 and RTX 5070 for 3D rendering and art software; it mostly does the job and handles Autodesk Maya well, though they regret buying just before Black Friday.
PositiveChose the TUF A16 with an RTX 5070 over an Omen 16 and TUF A14 and loves it. Battery is pretty alright, though it may be too big for some people.
PositiveOwns the TUF A16 2025; the only issue so far is a watch magnet triggering the lid sensor. Battery life is far better than their 2021 laptop, about 12 hours idle or light browsing and 6-8 hours of video.
PositiveHas gamed daily on their TUF A16 (Ryzen 9 8940HX, RTX 5070) since buying it with no major issues. Fans are pretty loud and it warms up a little while gaming without a cooling pad.
PositiveOwns the TUF A16 (2025) with a Ryzen 9 8940HX and RTX 5070. Gets smooth frame rates in RDR2, Doom The Dark Ages and Control over long sessions with CPU and GPU temps in the high 70s to 80s, though ray tracing drops fps sharply.
